So I was having a conversation with some gentlement about women. After a few minutes someone made a comment about yellow bone / dark bone women and laughed when I asked what it was.
Then more slang, of which I did not understand in the least, was used and now I’m curious.
What does yellow bone / dark bone mean? It seemed important.
Anybody?
I will say racist is what they are.
Asian/yellow bone
African American/dark bone
Yellow and dark refer to degrees of darkness of the skin of African American females.
Slang.
yellow bone:
black bone:
red bone?:
never heard any of them before tho

Actually, this is wrong. A yellow bone is a light skinned black girl. I’ve never heard the term dark boned before, but it’s pretty easy to figure out. Usually a dark skinned black girl is just a “black girl”.

Haha, don’t blame you. Been sticking to the logs, and combat, PL and conditioning sections mostly. Everything here seems to quickly devolve into a shit storm so I’ve been staying away. But, when black girls (a subject I’m somewhat of an expert on, haha) comes up I gotta chime in.

But on a serious note… Where does “Busy Bone” fall into all of this?

Yes.

I don’t pay attention I guess. I didn’t realize there was a widely accepted vernacular for black women of varying shades.

Yeah, I get that. The only thing is, this is so common, I doubt one single black man in Houston is unaware of what it means. I mean, they used that term in House Party, didn’t they. How old is that?
